Ken, it would be nice if people stuck to the thread,it seems people like to vent their frustrations on other issues.Everyone let’s keep the thread on Barclays

FJ - I'm no longer a bluey, so I couldn't ban you if I wanted to, which I don't. But wouldn't it be nice if people stuck to the thread subject instead of posting about everything else?

We're lucky on here compared with the Lloyds thread, where people seem to have forgotten what the subject is.

Have Barclays PLC (LON:BARC) Insiders Been Selling Their Stock?
We'd be surprised if Barclays PLC (LON:BARC) shareholders haven't noticed that the Group General Counsel, Robert Hoyt, recently sold UK£85k worth of stock at UK£1.70 per share. However, the silver lining is that the sale only reduced their total holding by 2.2%, so we're hesitant to read anything much into it, on its own.
Check out our latest analysis for Barclays
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Barclays
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Group CEO & Executive Director James Staley bought UK£294k worth of shares at a price of UK£1.50 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is UK£1.71. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider purchases were made at close to current prices.
Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 886125 shares worth UK£1.4m. On the other hand they divested 175000 shares, for UK£284k. In total, Barclays insiders bought more than they sold over the last year. You can see the insider transactions (by individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!
There are always plenty of stocks that insiders are buying. So if that suits your style you could check each stock one by one or you could take a look at this free list of companies. (Hint: insiders have been buying them).
Does Barclays Boast High Insider Ownership?
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. It appears that Barclays insiders own 0.07% of the company, worth about UK£22m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
What Might The Insider Transactions At Barclays Tell Us?
An insider sold stock recently, but they haven't been buying. But we take heart from prior transactions. It's good to see insiders are shareholders. So we're not overly bothered by recent selling. If you are like me, you may want to think about whether this company will grow or shrink. Luckily, you can check this free report showing analyst forecasts for its future.
Of course Barclays may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies.
For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body. We currently account for open market transactions and private dispositions, but not derivative transactions.

Barclays: Heading In The Right Direction And Still A Bargain

Summary

Barclays continues to defy gloomy Street expectations and has now delivered three consecutive quarters where ROTE has matched cost of capital.

Despite this the shares are trading at a 40% discount to TNAV even in spite of a sharp rally since September.

The performance of the investment bank is the key to story. It is valued at a 60% discount to TNAV despite consistently good returns in recent quarters.

Sooner rather than later the Street will have to reappraise the value it assigns to the IB. As it does I expect a further substantial re-rating of the shares and my £2.2 price target indicates at least another 26% upside.

Former Chinese trade negotiator explains why Trump re-election is best for China

"Trump talks about material interests, not politics."

A former Chinese trade negotiator says President Trump's style of being a straight shooter makes his re-election the best thing for U.S-China trade relations.

Trump's willingness to tweet about pretty much anything makes him "easy to read" and "transparent," Long Yongtu, China's former vice minister of foreign trade told the South China Morning Post.
